Reborn Industrial Tycoon

"Who is frying fish in there? Come out quickly!"

This shout came to Li Weidong's ears. Through the tone of the voice and the courage to shout so loudly, Li Weidong had already felt that the person who came was not good!

"Mr. Hart, please wait a moment, someone is calling me outside!" After Li Weidong said that, he leaned out from behind the refrigerator.

I saw a large group of people standing in front of me, headed by Kong Zhen, the person in charge of the Canton Fair.

When an exhibitor in the home appliance exhibition area went to ask for a power supply, Li Weidong had met Kong Zhen before, so Li Weidong recognized Kong Zhen instantly. However, Kong Zhen did not know Li Weidong. After all, there were so many exhibitors at the Canton Fair, and it was impossible for Kong Zhen to know them all.

.

Next to Kong Zhen, there was a man standing, looking at Li Weidong angrily, feeling very unfriendly.

Li Weidong felt that this person looked familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered it.

"Isn't this the grandson who asked me for French fries just now? It seems that he didn't really come here to ask for French fries, but to cause trouble. How did I blame this person? I have no impression at all!

"

The soldiers came to cover up the water and earth. Now that Kong Zhen had already come to the door, Li Weidong could only walk forward with a smile and said: "Director Kong is here, what can I do?"

Kong Zhen had a cold face and asked with official authority: "Are you the one frying potato chips?"

"Yes, it's me!" Li Weidong did not deny it.

"You still fried fish?" Kong Zhen said and took another breath.

"It has just been fried and is still hot. Director Kong, do you want to try it?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

Kong Zhen snorted coldly and then said: "I am now officially informing you that no French fries or fried fish are allowed! In addition, you should take your products and leave the Canton Fair exhibition hall immediately."

"Why?" Li Weidong asked calmly: "You have to have a reason to drive me away, right?"

"You are frying things here to eat. The smell of oil fumes is too great, which pollutes the environment in the venue and affects the overall image of the Canton Fair. We at the Canton Fair will not accept exhibitors like you who bring adverse effects to the Canton Fair."

Welcome!" Kong Zhen said.

"Director Kong, is there any misunderstanding here? I fry things not to eat for myself, but to provide them to foreign businessmen.

Foreign businessmen have been shopping at the Canton Fair all morning, and they must be hungry. Eat something here to make up for their hunger. This is a good thing to enhance friendship with foreign businessmen!

If you don’t believe me, you can ask, but all the foreign businessmen who have eaten my food have also expressed their gratitude to me, and they all report how good I am! I have worked so hard to enhance Sino-foreign friendship, why do I just give it to the Canton Fair?

Did it bring adverse effects?

Furthermore, when these foreign businessmen are full, they can continue to visit the venue. If foreign businessmen visit for a while longer, they will be more likely to place orders, and we will be able to sell more things and earn more foreign exchange through exports.

It’s totally a contribution to the Canton Fair!”

When it comes to talking heads, officials within the system like Kong Zhen are really no match for business veterans like Li Weidong.

However, officials within the system like Kong Zhen don't need to reason with others.

No matter what your superiors say is right or not, you should resolutely implement it; if you tell your subordinates what you are told, you don't have to worry about whether it is right or not. You have to do what you are told, even if it doesn't make sense. This is the law of survival within the system.

So Kong Zhen said simply: "I don't care who you are frying for, but you just can't do this. Pack up and leave quickly, or I'll ask the security to ask you out!"

As Kong Zhen said, two people in security uniforms actually came over, looking like they were gearing up.

Seeing Kong Zhen being so unreasonable, Li Weidong felt a little helpless. Some people just want to be tough but not soft. If they don't drink a toast, they have to drink fine wine. Give him a mallet and it will hurt until he is honest!

So Li Weidong asked: "Isn't it okay to give it to foreign businessmen?"

"No!" Kong Zhen shook his head simply.

Li Weidong turned back and shouted in English: "Mr. Hart, someone doesn't allow you to eat fish."

Kong Zhen knew English, but when he heard what Li Weidong shouted in English, Kong Zhen felt bad.

Sure enough, the next second, a foreigner's big head popped out from behind the refrigerator and asked: "Who?"

Li Weidong pointed at Kong Zhen and replied in English: "It's him, he's Kong, he's an official here!"

Hearing the word "official", Hart's face suddenly showed a look of horror. Then he saw the two people in security uniforms and immediately misunderstood.

"I didn't do anything, I just took a bite of fish, don't catch me!" Hart said tremblingly, almost not crying!

It was Hart's first time in mainland China. He probably heard too many false rumors about China from the Western media, so he seemed very scared.

"Why is there really a foreigner eating fish! He seems to have misunderstood me! Oops, if this matter gets serious, it will cause diplomatic disputes!"

Kong Zhen suddenly felt like he was on the verge of tears. He instantly realized that in the blink of an eye, the young man in front of him had dug a big hole for himself that was hard to fill!

Just imagine, if this foreign businessman really misunderstood Kong Zhen and went to the British Consulate in China to say that an official named Kong wanted to arrest him at the Canton Fair, it would really cause a diplomatic dispute.

If the BBC takes the opportunity to concoct another fake news, create some international public opinion, tarnish the reputation of the Canton Fair, and also blackmail China, then Kong Zhen will have to take the blame no matter what, and the black hat will really be lost!

Thinking of this, Kong Zhen's head started to sweat again. It was estimated that a cup of herbal tea could not extinguish the fire of anxiety in his heart.

"Sir, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to arrest you! You are our honored guest, how could I arrest you!" Kong Zhen said quickly.

However, Hart said pitifully: "Whatever you want to ask, I will tell you, please don't torture me!"

Kong Zhen quickly put on a friendly smile: "Sir, don't be nervous, I really am not here to arrest you."

"I have an eighty-year-old mother, an eight-year-old child, and I have adopted a poor stray dog. I still have fifteen years of mortgage debt to pay off. Please let me go!" Ha!

Te was about to cry.

Kong Zhen knew that he might not be able to explain clearly. Hart had obviously been brainwashed by the Western media and believed that Chinese officials were terrifying beings.

In desperation, Kong Zhen had no choice but to look at Li Weidong: "Explain it to me!"

"Director Kong, this isn't appropriate, after all, I'm going to pack up and leave!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"If I don't drive you away, that's enough!" Kong Zhen said quickly.

"What about this thing about blowing things up?" Li Weidong asked eagerly.

"Blow it up however you want! Please explain it to me!" Kong Zhen said anxiously.

Li Weidong nodded, turned around, walked up to Hart, and said, "Mr. Hart, this is your first time at the Canton Fair, so you don't know the rules here. According to the regulations of the Canton Fair, exhibitors need to have officials when signing orders with foreign businessmen.

I am here as a witness to ensure that the exhibitors can supply goods on time. This official is here to witness. So you don’t have to worry at all, he is here to restrain me.”

Hart was stunned for a moment, his expression relaxed a lot, and then he nodded: "I remembered, my friend told me that there seems to be such a rule."

To convince someone to believe something, it is actually very simple, just find a reasonable reason.

Li Weidong found a reasonable reason for Kong Zhen's arrival, which immediately made Hart feel a lot more at ease.

This is Li Weidong's second trick, which is to change the subject and make Hart forget this unpleasant incident as soon as possible.

So Li Weidong said; "Mr. Hart, let's continue the topic just now, about the quotation of this air fryer. In fact, this kind of air fryer is very cheap, one only costs 330 US dollars! If you purchase in large quantities, I can also give you

You have some discounts.”

"330 US dollars is a bit expensive!" Hart said.

At that time, an electric oven produced in Germany cost at least more than 300 US dollars, so in the European market, a household appliance sold for 330 US dollars, which was still a relatively reasonable price.

But considering that Hart still needs some profit, the price of 330 US dollars seems a bit high. After all, Hart still has to make a part of the price difference, and the home appliance retailer also has to make money. Plus tariffs, in total, the air

After the fryer was put on the market, the price had to be $500.

Li Weidong thought for a while and asked: "Mr. Hart, how much do you plan to buy? If you buy a large quantity, the price can be negotiated."

"I want to buy 3,000 units for a try first, and if the market can accept it, I will buy more," Hart said.

Li Weidong took out his calculator and calculated that three thousand units would cost US$990,000, so he said, "If you buy three thousand units, I can charge you US$960,000, which is equivalent to US$320 per unit."

Hart frowned slightly, obviously feeling that the price was still very expensive.

Li Weidong then said: "Mr. Hart, if you are willing to buy 5,000 units, I can sell them to you at a price of 300 US dollars."

From 330 US dollars to 300 US dollars, it dropped by 30 US dollars, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the price. This price reduction is still very sincere.

Hart thought for a moment, and although this price reduction was very sincere, it would still require him to buy two thousand more units.

Moreover, this is still a new type of household appliance, and Hart doesn't know how well the market will accept it, so he doesn't dare to take risks.

Li Weidong said, "Mr. Hart, you must have discovered that when using an air fryer to fry things, you only need to put in a very small amount of oil. This means that when you eat food cooked in an air fryer, you consume only a small amount of fat.

Relatively few.

The obesity rate in the UK should be very high now, right? Obesity can cause many problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and a high-fat diet can also cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as high blood pressure. Doctors will recommend,

Eat a diet low in oil and fat.

The food cooked in the air fryer happens to be less oil and fat, which is healthier than traditional fried food. Food cooked in the air fryer can also reduce the occurrence of obesity, so the air fryer is a kind of

Home appliances that are good for your health!”

When Li Weidong said this, he smiled slightly and continued: "Mr. Hart, don't you think this is a good publicity stunt? New cooking tools to make healthy meals! Health is priceless, a kind of food that can

Even if a cooking tool that brings healthy eating costs more than a hundred pounds, the public can still accept it!”

Hart's eyes suddenly lit up. Once health-related matters were involved, even if it was just a gimmick with no practical significance, ordinary people would be willing to pay more.

"Mr. Li, your publicity direction has convinced me! Okay, I'll order 5,000 units!" Hart said.

"Happy cooperation!" Li Weidong also extended his right hand.

Next to him, Kong Zhen stared blankly at this scene.

"What's the situation? What happened just now? Who is this young guy? In just a few words, he signed a contract for 1.5 million US dollars?"

The next second, Kong Zhen suddenly realized that this was an exhibition area for household appliances.

Domestic household appliances are exported and sold to developed countries!
